Treatment Philosophy 
Just as I will learn the many facets of you and your family through our therapeutic journey, my hope is that you discover more about yourself in the process. While your goals within treatment may fluctuate over time, my role will forever be the same. I am here to support.  When things are difficult, I am here to assist you in working through it. When things are wonderful, I am here to challenge you to new heights. Your therapy will always be collaborative, as you are the expert of your life. I want you to be proud of the work that you do within treatment. Together we will create a space and cultivate tools for your personal growth and contentment. I also specialize in working with kids as young as 5 and teens with behavioral concerns. I can assist your teen or child when they are struggling with suicidal ideation and/or self injurious behaviors.
